Many decades ago, CBS had a television show about a loading dock worker who by a rare twist of fate, was promoted to being the vice president of the company he worked for. In doing so, his real life blue-collar existence gave him street smarts that the more educated stuffed shirts in the company's ivory towers couldn't relate to.
Every episode, the company would get into one problem or another. And in the end, the most unlikely executive every week managed to save the day.
The show was immediately dismissed by critics as preposterous, and has long been forgotten about.
